"Amazing Racer" is a heart wrenching and intense drama about a teenaged girl named Shannon, who faces and overcomes tragedy through the love of a horse and the mother she never knew.
Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black) and Julianne Michelle (The House Is Burning) star as mother and daughter respectively in this long anticipated film, which is based in part on a true story.
The impressive cast of “Amazing Racer” also includes award-winning performers such as Daryl Hannah, Charles Durning, Michael Madsen, Eric Roberts, Krista Allen, Stephen Colletti, Jason Gedrick, Joanna Pacula, Steve Guttenberg, Willie Garson, George Lopez and others.

The movie is about a young girl who goes to live with her mother, who she never knew, on a horse farm in western Pennsylvania and how she grows to love her mom and her horse.
Richert and Mowod began working on the screenplay, which is based on a true story, in 2000.
“I was out in Los Angeles in mid-to-late 90s and my brother was training horses at the Meadows. While I’m out there I’m hearing this story about a horse that he had that they were very attached to only because he was so tough and such a good racer. It’s a very emotional story about how this horse
was injured and instead of letting the horse go – the business move to make at the time was to let the horse go – he made a decision which cost him money,” Mowod said.
Initially, the plan was to rehabilitate the horse so that it could live out a normal life. However, the story took a Hollywood turn.
“What happened throughout the next year is he rehabilitated the horse to get him to walk again. Jump forward to a year and he wins a big race down in Kentucky called The Red Mile,” Mowod said.
Richert and Mowod eventually met Frank Johnson, who became the director for the film.
You’ll notice a lot of local places in the film as it was entirely shot in western Pennsylvania.
“It was our mantra to do it in western Pennsylvania for the local film industry and to showcase what we have. Washington County was really the star with some of those great farms down there and of course, the Meadows as the race track,” Richert said
